I’d like to share an email I got from my neighbor (we are pretty good at sharing info) and thought anyone else may be familiar with this:

“Hi all-
I am working from home today and feel that something a little off just happened. A gentleman parked his car in our driveway and knocked on the front door. As I opened the door he asked if I was the woman of the household and if I ate meat. I asked him why he asked – and he said he was at the end of his shift wondering if there were any carnivores in the house and kept pointing to his truck asking if I ever heard of his company (something meat related but can’t remember the name?). I told him that I am not comfortable with solicitors and to please send information in the mail. I might just be paranoid but found this to be somewhat suspicious and uncomfortable and am not able to find the company on his car anywhere on the Internet. Do any of you all recognize this company? Or do any of you order meat from this company? Unfortunately I was not able to get a plate number. He was not uniformed in any sort of clothing corresponding to his said company.”

… We’ve had at least two burglaries within the past month on my block (32 and Ferdinand) which is a concern. Another neighbor replied to the first neighbor’s email with this:

I also had this experience, though sometime last year. He gave me the same line that he was at the end of his shift and wanted to sell the remainder of his meat. He gave me a flyer with the prices and did indeed point to his truck, but it looked similar to a Swanson's Frozen Food truck repurposed for meat deliveries. He also mentioned that he/the company was from S. King County - which I thought was odd for him to be driving around selling meat. Nothing came of it however and I don't recall an increase in crime on my block (35th & Alaska). This happened in early 2012.

I read up on this outfit. They are scammers, offering free or cheap meat, and then pulling a bait and switch and trying too get you to buy boxes of meat. Not sure if it is a front for casing or something else, but they are sleazy enough without it. Even read that they overcharged people's credit cards.
